Standard fields

Most standard fields use the same naming conventions as Wireshark display fields ↗. However, there are some subtle differences between Cloudflare and Wireshark:

Wireshark supports CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation ↗ for expressing IP address ranges in equality comparisons (ip.src == 1.2.3.0/24, for example). Cloudflare does not.

To evaluate a range of addresses using CIDR notation, use the in comparison operator as in this example: ip.src in {1.2.3.0/24 4.5.6.0/24}.
In Wireshark, ssl is a protocol field containing hundreds of other fields of various types that are available for comparison in multiple ways. However, in the Rules language ssl is a single Boolean field that indicates whether the connection from the client to Cloudflare is encrypted.
The Cloudflare Rules language does not support the slice operator.

The Cloudflare Rules language supports these standard fields.

`http.cookie`

http.cookie String

Represents the entire cookie as a string.

Example value:

session=8521F670545D7865F79C3D7BEDC29CCE;-background=light

`http.host`

http.host String

Represents the hostname used in the full request URI.

Example value:

www.example.org

`http.referer`

http.referer String

Represents the HTTP Referer request header, which contains the address of the web page that linked to the currently requested page.

Example value:

Referer: https://developer.example.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript

`http.request.full_uri`

http.request.full_uri String

Represents the full URI as received by the web server (does not include #fragment, which is not sent to web servers).

Example value:

https://www.example.org/articles/index?section=539061&expand=comments

`http.request.method`

http.request.method String

Represents the HTTP method, returned as a string of uppercase characters.

Example value:

GET

`http.request.cookies`

http.request.cookies Map<Array<String>>

Represents the Cookie HTTP header associated with a request as a Map (associative array). The cookie values are not pre-processed and retain the original case used in the request.

Decoding: The cookie names are URL decoded. If two cookies have the same name after decoding, their value arrays are merged.

Example:

any(http.request.cookies["app"][*] == "test")

Example value:

{ "app": ["test"] }

`http.request.timestamp.sec`

http.request.timestamp.sec Integer

Represents the timestamp when Cloudflare received the request, expressed as Unix time in seconds. This value is 10 digits long.

To obtain the timestamp milliseconds, use the http.request.timestamp.msec field.

Example value:

1484063137

When validating HMAC tokens in an expression, pass this field as the currentTimestamp argument to the is_timed_hmac_valid_v0() validation function.

`http.request.timestamp.msec`

http.request.timestamp.msec Integer

Represents the millisecond when Cloudflare received the request, between 0 and 999.

To obtain the complete timestamp, use both http.request.timestamp.sec and http.request.timestamp.msec fields.

Example value:

Here is the formatted information for the provided rows:

`http.request.uri`

http.request.uri String

Represents the URI path and query string of the request.

Example value:

/articles/index?section=539061&expand=comments

`http.request.uri.path`

http.request.uri.path String

Represents the URI path of the request.

Example value:

/articles/index

`http.request.uri.path.extension`

http.request.uri.path.extension String

The lowercased file extension in the URI path without the dot (.) character. This corresponds to the string after the last dot in the URI path, excluding the query string.

If the first character of the last path segment is a dot and the segment does not contain other dot characters, the field value will be an empty string (""). Having a dot as the first character does not represent a file extension and is commonly used in UNIX-like systems to denote a hidden file or directory.

Example values:

If the URI path is /articles/index.html, the field value will be html.
If the URI path is /articles/index., the field value will be an empty string ("").

Example values

URI path	Field value
`/foo`	`""`
`/foo.mp3`	`"mp3"`
`/.mp3`	`""`
`/.foo.mp3`	`"mp3"`
`/foo.tar.bz2`	`"bz2"`
